No. $ where gzip /bin/gzip The only non-standard thing I have in my environment that is related to gzip is this variable: GZIP=--best > (Does gzip -9v foo produce this message?) $ gzip -9v gzip: compressed data not written to a terminal. Use -f to force compression. For help, type: gzip -h $ touch foo $ gzip -9v foo foo: 0.0% -- replaced with foo.gz Did you try to reproduce the bug on your system ? -- Laurent Bonnaud. http://www.lis.inpg.fr/pages_perso/bonnaud/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
